This article is talking about Car Free day events in Jakarta, which are dominated by participants riding bikes. Every Sunday morning, in Jakarta, the government holds an event, which is called Car Free day. It is an event where cars and motorbikes are not allowed to pass through some roads. This event is located on Jalan Thamrin, and Sudirman, in Central Jakarta and runs from 6 am until 12 pm.

This Car Free day event has been very successful in attracting people’s attention and participation. Now that the government has succeeded in doing this event in Jalan Thamrin and Sudirman, some other roads in South Jakarta are also closed for Car Free days. Last month JL.HR Rasuna also did the same thing, and they held a car free day.

The article said that this event (Car Free day) is now spreading to another city like Bandung. People take advantage of this event as an opportunity for exercising, hanging out with others from the bicycle community, or merely sight seeing around the city without having the hassle of congested traffic.
